President Obama donated their daughters’ south lawn playground to a Washington homeless shelter as part of a Martin Luther King Day service project Monday, days before leaving office, according to WUSA 9.
Malia and Sasha’s wooden play set is now at the Jobs Have Priority shelter, a 28-apartment complex in southeastern Washington.
The First Family showed up to demonstrate how to use the equipment. The president pushed two girls in the swing, while Mrs. Obama showed a younger boy how to use the rope swing.
“Brings back memories,” Obama said while pushing the swing, noting that Sasha was not much smaller when the family moved into the White House eight years ago.
President and Mrs. Obama also spent about half an hour helping to paint a King-themed mural at the center, which primarily serves young African-American mothers with two to three young children, many with a mental, developmental or physical disability.
The mural “Wall of Hope” was created by artist Omatayo Akinbolajo and features a painting of Martin Luther King, Jr. The Obama’s painted quietly for a few moments — mostly coloring in butterflies.

Probably took too much room in the moving vans as they are probably stealing every thing in site from the White House, Ala the Clintons!!!
Malaria and Sharia will never remember it anyway now that they have hit their peak teen twerking years....Beyonce values! (well done Moochie)
That’ll disappear in short order.
It’s a homeless shelter.
Homeless people need jobs, Mr. President.
Not monkey bars.
Bet they NEVER played on it.
PPTUS must have had some slow days at the end of his schedule...
Sad they took this long to donate it. The Teens probably had not used it for many years already.
Ya THINK??
Is it theirs to donate?
Moochie never wastes a good photo op!
Well, credit where credit is due.
I am not sure Trump will need the play structures, although Ivanka will be close by and has young children. Barron could use it, but I think Melania and he will stay, for the most part, in NYC. He has school, etc., and she seems like a very protective mother.
Donald has good taste in women.
It’s good that they are donating this.
Can you imagine how awesome that would be for the little kids? “I swung on Sasha and Malia’s swings!”
It is a nice gesture.
Wonder who paid for it.
service project? Donating government monkey bars?
Got a mirror?
I don’t see anything wrong with this. There’s enough else to be snarky about.
I know what you mean, but the children of the homeless deserve some joy in their lives.
This is news???????
Lots of people do things like this——it’s routine.
.
Agree 100%!
Their parents need jobs and food with which to feed their children.
If they can’t afford to do that because Obamacare has drained their wallets, what good is gym equipment donated by privileged DC elites to dead children?
